Recent advances in theoretical and experimental techniques allow us to characterize and understand properties of complex molecular systems, opening new prospects for the rational design of new molecular materials such as drugs, pesticides, catalysts, selective absorbents, sensors, molecular memories, wires, etc. An overview of recent advances in this area was the subject of the international workshop “Modeling & Design of Molecular Materials”, held 16–20 September 2004 in Wrocław University of Technology, Poland. This Special Issue of the Journal of Molecular Modeling contains 21 papers selected from topics covered in 29 lectures and 40 posters presented during the meeting.
